A new video and photos taken on the set of new Batman film The Dark Knight Rises show the caped crusader battling baddie Bane in a blizzard, but
Christian Bale doesn’t seem fazed.

Another photo shows Matthew Modine, best known for his role as Private Joker in Stanley Kubrick ‘s Full Metal Jacket, leading a mob of policemen.

His character, Nixon, a crook and politician, is a new addition to the saga. He is seen wearing a police uniform and running through the mocked-up streets of Gotham City, which have been recreated in New York.

The city has been hit by a spate of freak weather recently, with a snowstorm arriving before Halloween for only the fourth time since the American Civil War.

Millions have been left without power, and some people died after the unexpected snowfall.
